Tesla Optimus API & Developer Docs
No public API or developer documentation exists for the Tesla Optimus. Tesla hasn't released an SDK, DDS interface specs, or developer guides — development access, where it exists at all, is handled privately with partners.
A real developer reference for the Tesla Optimus would document the SDK installation, the communication middleware, motion and gait APIs, sensor streams, and simulation support. Until Tesla publishes one, treat any unofficial API bindings you find as experimental.
What this document covers
- ✓SDK installation and environment setup
- ✓Communication middleware: topics, services, and message types
- ✓Locomotion and sport-mode APIs
- ✓Sensor streams: IMU, joint states, and vision
- ✓Voice assistant and high-level behavior interfaces
- ✓Simulation support and example programs
Official API and developer documentation
No public API and developer documentation has been published for the Tesla Optimus.
We link only to official manufacturer sources — never rehosted PDFs or third-party mirrors — so when the manufacturer hasn't published a document, this page says so plainly instead of linking something unreliable. The closest authoritative source is Tesla official site.
What we know about the Tesla Optimus
Optimus isn't for sale, so there's no manual — Tesla shares progress through AI Day presentations and official announcements. This page exists so you'll find real documentation here the day Tesla publishes it.
